drop-down list, Dreamweaver has a corresponding file in the Configuration\Behaviors\Events folder.

IE 4.0.htm, has at least one event associated with it. The entries
look like this:
<INPUT TYPE=”Text” onBlur=”*” onChange=”” onFocus=”” onSelect=””>
The default event for each tag is marked with an asterisk; in the preceding example, onBlur is
